Won last May/June in his first three races, notably the 1m6f Queen's Vase at this meeting (good to firm) where he seized the initiative entering the straight and finished with three of today's rivals snapping at his heels; Scandinavia and Rahiebb comfortably turned the tables on him in the St Leger at Doncaster in September, however; latest start may have bolstered hopes, as he stepped up to 2m and switched from blinkers to a visor when well on top in a Listed race, but that was in far less demanding company.

Touched off on sole Flat run (1m4f, soft) in France at three and has developed into very smart hurdler for current connections, four wins including last year at Punchestown festival and Tipperary Grade 3; showed current well being when second in recent valuable Plumpton handicap on good ground; very interesting returning to Flat here with Keane booked.
